Igorot women don't wear G-strings, met theater told

BAGUIO CITY: The Cordillera office of the National Commission on Indigenous Peoples (NCIP-CAR) has strongly condemned the Metropolitan Theater, or more popularly the Met, for presenting women dancers in G-string, the traditional "bahag" worn only by Igorot men.

Not only did the dance number make fun of and ridiculed traditional attire and highland culture, the commision said, but it also was an inaccurate portrayal of Igorot women who have never worn or been made to wear the bahag.
